You sound like you have no electrical knowledge. Best advice get a QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN in before you hurt someone/ yourself.

I get the impression this isn't a UK based question? However this is a UK based forum so you might be better off asking elsewhere

it's time thesae colonials realised what shyte we're getting here with all these foreign criminals. let's face it, canada has thousands of square miles of inhospitable frozen wastes, they could easily take 20,000 or so of them off us.

I agree with the others get a qualified electrician to sort this out.
there is a way to do it with what you have but its not legal to do and damn well unsafe.
should the pump come on while the 120 volt side is loaded it would cause an overload and possible fire.
you would be far better off to have an electrician run another circuit and have it safe and up to code.
